Is there any civilization more fascinating than the Egyptians?

[Leasy]

History has proven that right? Say it didn't. From the Ancient India to Ancient Asia to Ancient Africa/South America. Cmon dude but when someone big up a black civilization its black supremacist. We not making this shyt up. Stfu dude.

History has proven what right? That Europeans were better warriors and had access to better technology, weapons and ships? Yes.

So did African Empires, including the Ancient Egyptians. They had slaves build those pyramids. They took land by force.

It's the story of human history.

It's not black supremacy if you big up black civilization. It's black supremacy when you shyt on Non-African contributions to human knowledge and lie about their origins to showcase a false sense of superiority. Then you become no different than the Europeans you despise.

THOSE WERE RELIGIOUS PRIESTHOOD INSTITUTIONS BROTHER, NOT SCHOOLS DEDICATED TO THE FREE INQUIRY STYLE OF GREEK PHILOSOPHY! PLATO WAS A WEALTHY MAN AND TRAVELED ALL AROUND THE MEDITERRANEAN, DUDE!

AGAIN, PLEASE NAME AN EGYPTIAN PHILOSOPHER WHO THESE GREEKS "STOLE" EVERYTHING FROM, CHAMP! EGYPT WAS AN INCREDIBLY GREAT CIVILIZATION, SO ADDING ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO THEM THAT THEY DIDN'T ACTUALLY DO IS NEEDLESS, MEAN GENE!


PYTHAGORAS WAS A GREEK WHO SET UP HIS FOLLOWING IN ITALY, BROTHER! PLEASE NAME AN EGYPTIAN PHILOSOPHER, DUDE!

Well Brother Egyptian Philosophy in general was religious in nature. Based off of Maat. The Greeks took it and remixed it the best they could. Nothing wrong with that they at least gave credit to where they learned.

Iamblichus wrote that Thales of Milete had to make it clear to Pythagoras that the latter had to go to Memphis, in Egypt, to study. Thales added that it were the Egyptian priests that were a veritable source of knowledge and information. Thales stated this at a time when he himself was Greece’s most famous and applauded philosopher, even though it would be his protégé Pythagoras who is currently best remembered as the “first philosopher”.
After Socrates’ death, Plato left for Egypt, where he studied for a period of 13 years. His mentor was Sechnuphis, a priest of Heliopolis (modern Cairo and thus near the Great Pyramid).
Years afterwards, Strabo would travel through Egypt. His Egyptian guide showed him where Plato had lived. It was how Plato learned the fable of Thoth and Amun, which he wrote down in Phaedros.

Ummm no. Sumerians were influenced by an older civilization who had influence from Ethiopia to India.

Nobody was bigger up nothing better you took that shyt that way because of your self confidence or esteem about your people. We ain't making this up its all in history bro. Egyptians wrote how Whites were, Ancient India.

Then y'all claim Europe which isn't a continent and not even your people original homeland dude. Come the fukk on. The oldest white mothafukka found on this planet was found in the Asia Mountains and Central Asia my dude.

All the old bodies found in Europe dating back thousands of years are African.

However, yall make the excuse oh of course blacks are the first but when it deals with accomplishment it can't be. Man fukk you

Why doesn't anyone really mention the fact that Egypt improved upon Ethiopia(real Ethiopia in modern day Sudan, Northern Sudan, Meroe to be exact, not Abssynia). They have they have the most pyramids per region out of any country or region on Earth, to me this the real great revelation or civilization that needs to be examined.

Well Ethopia in ancient times had an empire that rule went across Africa, Syria and Ancient India. I wouldn't be surprised. Egypt development came from the central heart and southern part of Africa.

THE EGYPTIANS HAVE NO RECORD OF ANY HEBREWS EVER BEING IN EGYPT, BROTHER! IT'S LIKELY THAT JEWISH MYTHOLOGY WAS DEVELOPED OUT OF THE POLYTHEISTIC LEVANT, DUDE!



IF THAT'S TRUE, IT'S INTERESTING THAT THEY'RE QUOTING A SOURCE THAT IS LABELLED "AGAINST AFROCENTRISM" BROTHER!

ANCIENT EGYPT : The impact of Ancient Egypt on Greek philosophy : Memphite & Theban thought

I think all cultures are important. They all have something to teach. But if you want to get deep into modern religions and their "Sources"...look into the Egyptian Book of The Dead. Egyptian life and religion is deeply fascinating stuff and along with the Greek philosophy. I find it interesting people limit themselves to one view or even say one is greater than the other when we live in a world of social media where we share information all the time.

True Indeed. I would love to learn more about Sumerians because half of their texts aren't decipher as of today.

Why are we ignoring the great West African Civilizations and concentrating on Egypt anyway?

Most of us ('Black' Americans) can trace our heritage to West Africa, not Egypt. Dudes are still fascinated with other cultures' history instead of their own.​

Because most civilizations in Africa traveled the sahara and moved from place to place, dont believe that bullshyt arguement that AA's have no connections to east africans or north africans, we have just as much in common as someone from greece and england have in common.

Eqypt.. jews...christians

all are derived from the creation story of THE SUMER called the ENUMA ELSIH

That was exactly my point, Egypt was just a culture hub or crossroads of ideas and culture that expounded upon original African ideals. Egypt always went to the south near Aswan or near modern day Khartoum to validate the kingdom, modern-day Sudan is where the true wisdom is!!!

The deities of the Sumerian people were called Annunaki (sometimes Ananaki). Annunaki were ‘those of royal blood’ as they were the children of Heaven (Anu) and (Na) Earth (Ki). So what were these God’s, and how did their existence within Sumer come to be.



Enki was the God of water, but more importantly he was considered the God knowledge and wisdom as it was Enki who travelled to Earth and taught man. Enki means lord (En) of Earth (Ki). Enki’s sacred number was the number 40 (the number of death), further, Enki is regarded by some as the snake (devil) in the Garden of ED.EN in Genesis. The demonization of Enki is evident.

Enlil was the God of air, the ‘lord of the wind’. Anu, Enki and Enlil are the three prime deities of Sumerian mythology.



the 1st trinity

When the outsiders invaded Egpyt they ran to Ethiopia and Sudan for help to clean that shyt out. Egyptian golden years were always under Pharaohs who came from those areas.
